About This Book
Reach for this book when your middle schooler feels like a 'jack of all trades, master of none' or is struggling with the pressure to specialize in a single talent. It is particularly helpful for children who feel left behind as their friends dive into niche hobbies or for those who are overwhelmed by the sudden 'busy-ness' of middle school life. Maggie Diaz is a relatable, funny protagonist navigating a world where everyone else seems to have their 'thing' figured out. While she experiments with every club available to find her passion, the story explores themes of self-discovery, the value of family support, and the importance of being okay with the process of searching. This is a lighthearted yet emotionally resonant choice for kids aged 8 to 12 who are balancing school, changing friendships, and their own cultural identity within a vibrant Cuban-American family.
